There are a lot of things our agents love about Bakersfield, CA—the beautiful mountain scenery, the rich history, the warm weather, the vibrant art and music scene. But one thing you might not know about Bakersfield is that we happen to have some of the best coffee shops around. 

And since we like to start our day with a hot cup of mud as much as anyone, we thought we'd take a moment to sing the praises of our favorite Bakersfield Coffee shops. After all, National Espresso Day is coming up on November 23!

Ready to start looking for a home? It's important to know from the beginning whether you're interested in a condo or a house. A condo is a single unit, in either an apartment or a townhouse, that is part of a larger building. When you buy a condo, you're just buying that unit instead of a house, which stands alone and includes the plot of land it sits upon. There are advantages and disadvantages to each, and which works best for you may depend on your preferences and unique situation.

Here are a few considerations to keep in mind when discussing your options with one of our agents.

If it's time to add your home to the list of Bakersfield homes for sale, it's time to explore a few tips to help you get the highest price for your home and encourage it to sell as quickly as possible. One trick to promote a higher selling price and speedy selling time is to declutter your home. Here are a few guidelines to follow to ensure your decluttering increases your home's appeal with potential buyers. 

1. Get Rid of as Many Things as You Can
   Before you start making plans to expand your home's storage and organizational systems, begin by purging your home of items that you no longer use or that don't have a place in your life. The fewer items that you own, the easier it will be to pack things away to prepare your home to sell. 
   
   An added benefit is that you'll save money on moving expenses because your movers will have fewer things to pack and transport. You'll also have fewer items to clean, making it easier for you to keep your home tidy for open houses and showings.

Central California is a great place to explore by bicycle, and fall is the perfect time for a bike ride. It's one of the things our agents love the most about life in the Bakersfield area.

We're just minutes from the Kern River, Sequoia National Forest, and the Sierra Nevada. If you're looking for an opportunity to enjoy some fantastic scenery and get a good workout this fall, you have a lot of great pathways to choose from. 

• Hart Memorial Park - Alfred Harrell Hwy, Bakersfield, CA 93308
  One of Kern County's oldest parks, Hart Memorial Park was founded in 1929 and spans more than 1,000 acres, including shady picnic areas, a fishing lake, playgrounds, and several miles of multi-use trails. It's all just minutes from these Bakersfield homes for sale. Mountain bikers have many possible routes to choose from, but a perennial favorite is a 6-mile singletrack trail known simply as the "Long Loop," which encircles the park. It can be a hot, dry adventure even in fall, so be sure to bring plenty of water.
